How are you going with the calcium and potassium? Did you try the banana smoothie recipe, if not check out my previous post.
Did you know Vitamins A, C and E are packed with loads of antioxidants?
Antioxidants are believed to prevent and repair damaged body cells, promote a good immune system and help protect us from some diseases including cancer.
To boost your intake of these great vitamins A and C, eat a variety of orange, yellow and red fruits and vegetables, as well as plenty of green leafy vegetables (which are also loaded with iron)
Eat baby carrots and strips of capsicum for snacks.
Try throwing some citrus fruit into salads too.
To get more vitamin E cook with olive, canola, linseed/flaxseed, sunflower or safflower oil, or use these seeds in salad dressings.
You will probably find you already include some of these items and if so that is really great, well done.
